Wheel arch finger joint

Can anyone give me some hints on how to pull a wheel arch finger joint tight over a rear fender? The wood is off the car. I was able to get 2 sections glued back reasonably well but the short piece at the rear post won't quite come together right. I've been trying to clean the joints to remove old glue. It's on a 39 Ford.

Either clamp or glue blocks to either side of the joint and use them to clamp the joint together. Be careful gluing it off the car, don't want to try to reinstall it and find that the end of the board opposite the finger joint has shifted by 1/2". Whenever possible I glue things on the car, guarantees that everything is where it should be.
